Lemken Rubin

Hi anybody got a set of these? My neighbour is retiring and has a 3m semi mounted set with a rear hydraulic wheel, bit like a caster wheel. It’s in good fettle and I’m thinking of buying it. Any pro’s and con’s?
Id be looking for it as a stubble chit machine mainly using it fairly shallow. My neighbour has mainly used it on ploughing. What’s the bearings like to replace and cost etc?

How much?

How much?

They’ll be around £8000 and it’s year 2015

They'll be a good buy. Make a top job

bearing will be expensive from the dealer but if you can source them from a bearing shop it’s much more bearable my horsch is up in price on bearings but it’s the hubs that are crazy in price if they breakup before you stop. Call around and price them. If this unit has done a number of acres in sandy textured soils buying it might be the cheapest part

We had one on demo last year, done a good job on breaking up turf of an old ley.
Beast of a machine and a long way out back.
155hp pulled it ok

If it has the caster wheel on the back it will be a Rubin 12 which has a bigger disc for deeper working than a Rubin 9 or the more recently introduced Rubin 10
